MELBOURNE, Australia — Reigning Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner begins his quest for a third consecutive title Down Under on Day 3, with Naomi Osaka and Taylor Fritz both also in action during the night session.
Earlier in the day, American duo Madison Keys and Ben Shelton booked their tickets to the second round with straight-sets victories on Rod Laver Arena. However, Alex Michelsen and Joao Fonseca were sent packing from the tournament.
Eyes are also locked on the wait times and queues that have marred the first two days of main draw action, with fans voicing frustration about just how busy the precinct is. Some spectators were forced to wait in excess of two hours just to enter Melbourne Park on opening Sunday and Monday, then another hour to enter the show courts.
Stay tuned as ESPN’s team of reporters bring you all the latest news, results, match schedules, and more from Day 3 at the Australian Open.
